About the airline
SriLankan Airlines is the flag carrier of Sri Lanka and a member airline of the Oneworld airline alliance. It was launched in 1979 as Air Lanka following the termination of operations of the original Sri Lankan flag carrier, Air Ceylon. As of today, it is Sri Lanka's largest airline by fleet size and number of destinations among local airlines. Its hub is Bandaranaike International Airport. Following its partial acquisition in 1998 by Emirates, it was re-branded and the current livery was introduced. In 2008, the government of Sri Lanka acquired all shares of the airline from Emirates. After ending the Emirates partnership, it retained its re-branded name and logo. SriLankan Airlines operates over 560 flights per week across Asia. SriLankan Airlines joined the Oneworld airline alliance on 1 May 2014.
